Geneforge 5 - Review @ Scorpia's Lair

The first full Geneforge 5 review on the Windows platform comes from Scorpia, who gives a detailed breakdown of the mechanics.  Oddly, she steps aways from actually giving any sort of verdict, although previous blog entries refer to the game as a "chore" and the like, so I can only assume she didn't like it.

It is, however, possible to work for two sides at once. While Morgana chose Astoria’s group, she remained very pro-rebel. There are many instances in the game where you can do a little something for the rebels, without jeopardizing your standing in a faction. At least with Astoria’s. I can’t be sure about the others.
